This story is a sequel to First Seconds

Fleetfoot had everything. Her job, her coworkers, her friends. Fleetfoot knew beyond a shadow of a doubt she owed her place among the best to skill and talent, but equally to luck. And she was oh so grateful for that luck. But she finds herself less and less happy, especially when left to think alone. She’s started picking up old habits she thought she had left behind, and noticing more and more all the things she doesn’t have.
But well, that's life.

Now where was she going next?

Someplace called... Ponyville?

When Igneous Rock Pie falls and breaks his hoof in the mine, Big Mac decides to go out to the farm and help with the some of the heavy lifting until he gets back on his feet. Not knowing how long he'll end up staying nor what all he'll need to fulfill Igneous Rock's duties, he brings the usual tools and travel gear he normally brings on long trips. He soon finds out however that day to day life on a rock farm is very different from life on an apple orchard

The second most popular girl in school who also happens to be the bane of his existence.

Hearts and Hooves Day was a whirlwind, especially for Cheerilee and Big Macintosh. They remained friends in wake of the fiasco that almost ended in hasty marriage, and Cheerilee never gave their friendship any further thought. They were just friends, nothing more.

However, when she learns of Big Mac and Marble Pie's fling over the Hearth's Warming holiday, Cheerilee begins to dwell upon her friendship with Big Mac. Could there have been something more to their relationship that she hadn't realized before?

After all, hindsight is 20/20.

Marble has always been told to just put on a pretty smile. But sometimes the prettiest smiles hide oceans of deep secrets.
When she meets a new pony, it's like all her worries and demons melt away.
At least, until she starts drowning again.

Big Mac decides it's high time he went courting. Working on the Pie farm seems like a fine way to prove his worth and get to know Marble and her family. She's a pretty, demure little mare and she seems to like him. He does not foresee any major obstacles.

He did not foresee Limestone Pie.

After spending Hearth's Warming Eve with the Apples, something has changed in Marble Pie's world: up until then, she had only known the familiar ground of the rock farms community, which was so much different from the world the Apples must have come from. Something in her just screams to go and see this world (and, maybe, just maybe, also meet again a certain red stallion...), even if the rest of the community might disapprove. A story about romance, growth and overcoming anxieties.

Some might think that a pony without much to say doesn't have a lot going on in their minds. Those ponies would be wrong. In fact, it's usually the quiet ones that think the most.

Marble Pie thinks a lot. Most of the time, she thinks about rocks, and how scary everything else is.

Big MacIntosh thinks a lot. Most of the time, he thinks about apples, and how complicated everything else is.

Now, throughout the good times and the bad times of Hearth's Warming, they think about each other.

A head full of romance is what many Canterlot ponies would call a frivolous waste of time. Everypony was meant to play by the rules of high society: keep your nose in the air, laugh at important ponies' jokes, and attend all of the right parties. Upper Crust and Jet Set had been diligent in raising their daughter Crystal Wishes to be a pony everypony would know, but she wanted more out of life than that. She hoped she would someday meet a handsome prince and fall in love, just like in the stories she wrote.

Crystal knew life wasn't as easy as a foal's tale, but that didn't stop her from dreaming. All of the wishes, hopes, and dreams inside her heart escaped into her precious notebook as she wrote about princesses in power and dashing knights. So long as nopony found out her secret, she could continue to play the part of a dutiful daughter while waiting for her own love story to begin.

This story is a sequel to Spiders and Magic III: Days of Friendship Past

Every hero rises, but they eventually fall.

This is how Spider-Mane died.
